Gig Young: The Oscar-Winning Murderer - Part 2
CW: This episode contains discussion of suicide, sexual assault and domestic assault.
Here it is! We wanted to make sure you got the conclusion of the Gig Young story before the Oscars aired. We left off in Part 1 with Gig's marriage to Elizabeth Montgomery coming to a hostile end. Well misfits, things don't get any better from here. In this episode we'll get to Gig's final two marriages. When he moves into an apartment with his fifth wife, the previous owner warns him not to disturb the "nice ghosts" that live there, and another source warns of a malevolent presence lurking within the walls. Gig brushes the comments off as nonsense, but perhaps there was some foreshadowing in those warnings...
